Valentine Day Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Yay! Count me in, too! I want to lose 12 pounds -- that's 2 pounds a week and totally doable.

@LollyMoe -- I posted a similar challenge on the December Bandster's group, but since you took the initiative here, I'll let those people know that the challenge has moved here under this thread.

Thanks! Looking forward to this!

I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I have lost 21 pounds. I get my first fill on Dec 6th. My weight is 265 so I'm going to shoot for 20. That would make my wieght 245 if I meet my goal. I haven't been able to exercise yet cause of another surgery I just had. When I start exercising I will loose more during that month. I can start exercising a week from monday. I am so excited about the challenge thanks guys, cause I really need the support of others. I was told not to eat before a fill by someone. Is that true? you should not eat before a fill. My dr never said anything about that. I usually eat four eggs for Breakfast. That takes care of 24 of Protein and is only 200 calories.

I would like to be in on this challenge! I just had surgery 3 days ago. Started at 246, down to 240. I don't get my first fill until the week of January 25th-ish. So I would like to lose 15 pounds by Valentine's Day! I hope that's not too much of a goal since I just had surgery!

Jillagould, Go to tickerfactory.com it will guide you through the rest.

My goal is 20 pounds by Valentines. I'm having my lapband installed tomorrow. With the liquid diet and stuff I think I can do it. I have lost 18 pounds in the past 2 months without the band. Goodluck to you all.

Count me in! I get my first fill on 1/14 and I'm starting to see the scale move a little bit, so I'm in! I'd like to lose 15 lbs before 2/14. I'm currently 188, so that would put me at 173! Holy crap! NEVER thought that weight would be in reach!!

Good luck everybody!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
